Originally developed by Modicon (now a Schneider Electric brand), these PLCs are known for their reliability, scalability, and adaptability in various industrial applications. They allow engineers to automate processes by programming custom logic, improving efficiency and reducing human error. Modicon PLCs are commonly found in manufacturing, water treatment, and energy management industries.

You’ll work closely with engineers, electricians, and maintenance teams to implement control systems, develop HMI/SCADA interfaces, and ensure smooth integration with other equipment. Collaboration is key, as you’ll provide technical support during system startups and participate in regular project meetings to address challenges and optimize performance. This role is dynamic and may require occasional on-site visits to diagnose and resolve issues.
